The Nymi SDK allows vendors to customize applications that support the Nymi Band to complete authentication tasks.

NEAs can to respond to a request to perform an authentication task with the Nymi Band, based on the status of the account for the user in AD. For example, if a user performs an NFC tap to complete an e-sign off, and user’s active directory password has expired, the e-sign off attempt does not complete.

By default, the option to support a check of the user status is disabled. If the NEA vendor programatically enables the NEA to check the status of a user in Active Directory before completing an authentication task with the Nymi Band, update the active policy to enable NES to provide NEAs with the status of a user account in Active Directory, and optionally customize the frequency with which NES contacts AD.

When you enable the option in the NES policy to determine the status of a user in AD, upon the first request for the status of a user, NES contacts AD for the information and returns the result to the NEA.
